I've Been Writing About Her for Months. Now You Get to Meet Her.
<p><strong>Written 7/9/2026</strong></p><p>I’d like you to meet Leanna.</p><p>We met on a dance floor.</p><p>Long before I ever asked her out, I noticed something about her. She sparkled. It was as though she walked into a room with a spotlight on her while everyone else quietly faded into the background.</p><p>At least, that’s how it felt to me.</p><p>For several weeks, I admired her from across the dance floor but never made a move. She wore a ring on her left hand, and being a guy, I simply assumed she was married.</p><p>One evening, in the middle of a dance, I finally worked up the courage to ask, “Does your husband enjoy dancing as much as you do?”</p><p>Without missing a beat, she smiled and said, “I don’t have one of those.”</p><p>Still spinning, I immediately replied, “Would you like to have coffee with me?”</p><p>Thankfully, she said yes.</p><p>Coffee turned into dinner.</p><p>Our “one-hour” first date lasted four hours.</p><p>Our second date lasted ten.</p><p>Somewhere during those conversations, I realized I wasn’t simply enjoying someone’s company. I had met someone genuinely extraordinary.</p><p>For once, I didn’t try to control the outcome. I didn’t overthink every conversation. I didn’t create rules about where the relationship should be after a certain amount of time. I simply let it unfold.</p><p>Ironically, that’s what made everything feel so natural.</p><p>Today, I couldn’t be happier.</p><p>A few weeks ago, we entered <strong>America’s Favorite Couple</strong> simply because it sounded like a fun adventure to experience together. We’ve bounced between 5th and 9th place, and it’s been a lot of fun watching the competition unfold.</p><p>If you’d like to support us, we’d be honored if you voted for us. You can vote once each day, and every vote means a great deal to us.</p><p>Thank you for cheering us on.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://americasfavcouple.org/2026/robert-and-leanna">https://americasfavcouple.org/2026/robert-and-leanna</a></p><p></p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

The greatest glory of living lies not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail
<p>The greatest glory in living lies not in never failing, but in rising every time we fall.</p><p>--Nelson Mandela</p><p></p><p>Think about that for a moment.</p><p>Most people believe success belongs to those who never fail.</p><p>But that’s not how life works.</p><p>You’re going to get knocked down.</p><p>A deal will fall apart.</p><p>A relationship will end.</p><p>Someone will disappoint you.</p><p>You’ll make a mistake.</p><p>You’ll have a day where nothing seems to go right.</p><p>The question isn’t whether you’ll fall.</p><p>The question is what you’ll do next.</p><p>Will you stay there?</p><p>Or will you get back up?</p><p>Because every person you admire has been knocked down more times than you can imagine.</p><p>The difference is they kept getting up.</p><p>Today you’ll probably face a few small setbacks.</p><p>Maybe even a big one.</p><p>When that happens, remember this:</p><p>Your strength isn’t measured by how hard life hits you.</p><p>It’s measured by how many times you’re willing to rise.</p><p>Get back up.</p><p>Take the next step.</p><p>And keep moving forward.</p><p>Make it an amazing day.</p><p></p><p>Robert’s Substack is a reader-supported publication.
